The basis for Roman law was the Twelve Tables. This set of rules said that all free citizens were protected by law.

The government had three parts.

Two consuls, or officials, were elected each year. They led the government and the army.

The second part of the government was the senate. It usually had 300 members chosen from the upper classes. The senate passed laws.

The third and most democratic part of government was the assemblies. The assemblies included members from different parts of society, such as citizen soldiers or plebeians. The assemblies could also make laws.

If there was a crisis, the republic could appoint a dictator. This was a leader with absolute power. The dictator made laws and commanded the army. But his power lasted for only six months.

Any citizen who owned property had to serve in the army. Roman soldiers were organized into military units called legions. The Roman legion was made up of some 5,000 heavily armed foot soldiers.

This quote is from the passage above: a.       “If there was a crisis, the republic could appoint a dictator. This was a leader with absolute power. The dictator made laws and commanded the army.”

What is it saying?

The republic was adaptable

The empire was adaptable

The republic was very rigid in how it functioned

the empire obviously collapsed due to Commodus' belief that he was Hercules.
